Do y'all use a VPN? If yes, which ones do you recommend?

TrustExecutor

This will make it more easy to fingerprint you by adding yet another somewhat unique data point.

TrustExecutor I don't always use VPNs. But using Cloudflare for instance is not a unique solution. There are millions of Cloudflare users out there to blend in with.

Proton VPN
Probably Mullvad is the best option, but i got a Black Friday deal.
2$/month for 2 years, for 10 connections.
It's 4.8$ per connection for 2 years. It's really cheap.
I share is with 4 others, 2 connections / user so it comes down to under 10$ for 2 years.
Still better than no VPN.

Gonna second (more like fifty) Mullvad, iVPN, and Proton. One thing I wish would become more commonplace, though, is integrated support for privacy-oriented DNS within VPN apps. It makes your fingerprint stick out so much if you use say Quad9 or ControlD DNS with Mullvad/Proton/iVPN, but this wouldn't be the case if these were offered by default in the VPN's settings. I don't prefer using the VPN's own DNS. Of course this doesn't matter to most VPN users, otherwise they'd just be using Tor or residential proxies.

Apologies profanity; I found this map of interrelationships of VPN providers being referred to as the "who's fucking who" map of VPNs. I'm ignorant of the author's leanings, but it's a fascinating read, and the one or two leanings of VPNs I'm aware of re listed in it as I've read them in the lay press.

Doboprobodyne Yes, this map is well known in the community and people wishing to choose a VPN should consult it, it was set up by Windscribe.

LyonSyonII I was wondering if it was the norm to use one

I don't. No idea if that is the norm or not, I simply do not need it.

Onion Can you explain to me factually why cyberghost and nordVPN should be blacklisted? What do they do differently compared to another VPN like mullvad or ivpn?

While proton has served me well, i think soverign decentralised solutions for everything is the way forward.
Web 3, Blockchain, DePIN, Dvpn.
Mass adoption of these technologies is the only way i see out of passing unacceptable levels of control over our autonomy to an irresponsible and self interested minority.
